Jackson Fire Department Interim Deputy Chief David Wooden and fire investigator Doug Millican determined the fire was arson, Capt. Steve Childs said Sunday. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it does appear suspicious.

The fire did significant damage to the home.

The fire began around 1:30 a.m. Homeowner Jerry Spivui said he was not home when the fire started, according to earlier reports. No one was injured.
